John Allen Shares Four Decades of Compliance Lessons Across Global Markets
BENSENVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Product Safety Consulting, Inc., a leader in product safety and regulatory compliance from concept to certification, announced that President and CEO John Allen is featured as the cover story author in the May 2026 issue of In Compliance Magazine, a leading publication serving product safety, EMC, and regulatory compliance professionals worldwide.
Allen’s article, “Product Safety, Certifications, and Compliance: The Decisions That Determine Market Success,” combines four decades of field experience with practical guidance for engineers, developers, and product teams navigating increasingly complex certification demands. The article appears in both the print and digital editions of the magazine and is currently available at incompliancemag.com.
About the Article
Rather than treating compliance as a final milestone before launch, Allen argues that the most successful products are usually shaped by safety and certification decisions made much earlier in development. The article examines how seemingly small design choices can ripple through timelines, testing programs, production schedules, and market access months later.
Drawing from projects spanning consumer, industrial, and international markets, Allen highlights the recurring mistakes that delay certifications, stall production, and drive unnecessary redesigns. At the same time, the article offers a practical roadmap for engineering teams looking to integrate compliance into the design process before problems become expensive.
Readers are guided through certification expectations across the United States, Canada, and Europe, alongside real-world examples gathered over a career spent helping manufacturers navigate evolving regulatory requirements.
“Compliance comes with the gift of foresight. When you know why clearances are required, you understand electrical breakdown. When you grasp why specific materials are needed, you understand material properties and failure modes. The more you understand the ‘why,’ the safer everything you build becomes.” — John Allen, President & CEO, Product Safety Consulting, Inc.
